I had hoped to sneak in a quick motorcycle ride on my afternoon off. As my bike was warming up I was walking around it kicking the tires etc. Hmm, what is that pool forming in my skid plate? Looked too thin to be oil. Not green enough to be coolant. Sniff, Yep that's gasoline! Great there's gasoline pouring down my running engine... Guess I will pull the fairing off rather than go for a ride.

After propping the tank up, I'm not sure what the problem was. All I can see is that the tank vent line may have been pinched. Running it with the tank propped up a few inches there was no more leak. I will have to investigate it further this weekend.

I haven't met a manager yet who will send home someone who is sick. It remains the whim of the employee whether or not they want to go in and infect their coworkers. If the management took a moment to consider the financial ramifications of this policy, I think they change their tune, and any pandemic flu planning I've seen agrees. Why it takes a "pandemic" to put the policy into practice is beyond me. Personally, I'm tired of walking dead coworkers bringing their micro-biotic bounty into the workplace.
